Mariposa Safe Families has developed a
Family Enrichment Center (FEC) for the communities of Mariposa County
through the collaborative efforts of partner agencies. A Family
Enrichment
Center, also known as a Family Resource Center, is a welcoming place
where
people can find services and activities that will support and enrich
their
families. Family support activities (youth-oriented programs) such as Friday Night Live,
Club Live, the yearly Daddy Daughter Dance, Halloween Carnival, Safe at Home Fairs, Mandated Reporter Training,
Shaken
Baby Training and parenting education are underway. The Family
Enrichment Center can provide Information & Referral Services as
well
as a Neighborhood Information Center, where computers with access to
high speed
internet access are available for public use.This FEC is the first in a network of centers envisioned for
Mariposa County. A Task Force of Coulterville and Greeley Hill residents
is
actively engaged in the FEC development process. For more information or
